FireSafe Fencing in BC: Why Metal Fence Panels Are the Safer Choice
FireSafe Fencing in BC
BC has experienced devastating wildfire seasons. If you live in a wildfire interface area, your fence can be either a firebreak or a fuse.
How Fences Spread Wildfire
A wood fence attached to your home acts as a direct pathway for fire. Embers land on the fence, ignite the wood, and fire follows the fence line to your structure.
What FireSafe Canada Recommends
- Non-combustible materials within 1.5 metres of structures
- Fire-resistant fencing within 10 metres of the home
- Remove continuous combustible fencing connected to structures
